Sally Joy Wolf inspires others to flourish and live their best lives. As the creator of LightWorks, Sally has combined her 20 years of corporate experience with her love for mentoring and nurturing to enable people find more meaning in both their jobs and their lives. Sally’s wellbeing work includes a range of activities based upon a client’s needs; some examples include strategic wellbeing advisory, fractional Chief Wellbeing Officer roles, town hall-style keynotes, customized workshops and 1:1 coaching. Sally is also a sought after speaker who creates customized inspirational keynotes about a myriad of subjects aligned with authenticity, resilience, post-traumatic growth, and positivity.
Creating LightWorks is one of the biggest silver linings of Sally's journey with metastatic breast cancer. Sally was previously a media industry executive for nearly two decades who developed growth strategies for brands like People and Real Simple internally at Time Inc., and Cosmopolitan and Nickelodeon during her time in Booz Allen's media practice. Her proudest corporate achievement was creating and launching an incubator within Time Warner (now Discovery Warner Bros.), OneFifty, that invests in innovative artists and storytellers.
Sally graduated from Harvard with a degree in psychology, summa cum laude, and has both an MBA and Masters in Education from Stanford. More recently, Sally has earned certifications in applied positive psychology, coaching, resilience from The Flourishing Center, been trained as a teacher by Journey Meditation, and is one of 100 global Certified Sparketype Advisors.
Before all of the above, Sally spent three summers as a sleepaway camp counselor. She remains passionate about bringing the childlike wonder, creativity and community celebrated in camp into everything she does, including, and most especially, her magical adventures with her nephew Ryan (9) and nieces Alex (7) and Andi (5). More than anything else, they will tell you Auntie is a big kid who loves rainbows, unicorns and hearts, plans awesome dance parties and sleepovers, and leaves a trail of glitter pretty much everywhere she goes!
